Re: Senior Central 2nds
Well you guys now have your work cut out, outrights are tough to get, but good luck. I actually dont mind when sides are havin a crack, gives you an opportunity for wickets. Having said that, also an opp to get smashed!! Hate getting "French cut"!!!!! My pet hate in the game!! Especially with no fine leg!! HATE IT!! Still working on my offies, got any advice for me?
Should be a good game this week. YC had us on the ropes last time. Chasing 80 odd, we were 8/70. So could've gone either way. They are obviously travelling very well atm, and I think are the team to beat.

It's a bit of a pain that MHSOB don't enter scores on the web, so I'll give you a quick summary.
We batted poorly, too many cheap wickets with only one decent partnership and then a bit of a flurry at the end getting us to 160 odd. We wanted more, but figured that if we bowled well early we could put pressure on them and get up. All looked to be going to plan when we got Otis cheaply then had them 5 for 50 odd from memory. A couple of guys started swinging at just about everything, played and missed most of them at first then started to get bat on ball and get away from us. Some old spinner brought himself on to try to break the partnership but ended up getting carted and it was nearly all over. They passed us 6 or 7 down with about 7 overs to spare.
While we could argue that if we'd had a bit of luck early in the partnership we might have run through them like you did YP, you'd have to say that MH deserved to win. We had periods where we were on top, but not as many as MH.
We found YP to be pretty good with the ball last game (bowl straight, vary their pace well etc.) We really only got right on top of them in one partnership between our 2 best bats last game. However, their batting was pretty weak against us and I'm not surprised that they struggled to chase against your bowling line up. A few wickets for TOBB, well done! Opened the bowling with offies due to broken body I suppose?
I don't reckon Spotty can claim underdog status for the flag just yet. Let's wait and see how you and YC shape up against each other next round.
